Background Increased concentrations of eosinophils in blood and sputum in chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have been associated with increased frequency of …

Eosinophils are innate immune cells that, under certain conditions, can be recruited to the
lungs, where they have an incompletely understood role in health and disease. Eosinophils …

Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterised by progressive
airflow limitation and chronic inflammation. Predicting exacerbations of COPD, which …

Background Inhaled corticosteroids are important in the management of chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD), but can slightly increase the risk of pneumonia in patients with …

Eosinophilic inflammation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) predicts
response to treatment, especially corticosteroids. We studied the nature of eosinophilic …

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous disorder and patients
respond differently to treatment. Blood eosinophils are a potential biomarker to stratify …

The heterogeneity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) creates many
diagnostic, prognostic, treatment and management challenges, as the pathogenesis of …

Post hoc and pre-specified analyses of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
randomised controlled trials have shown that higher blood eosinophil counts predict greater …

Background Current evidence suggests that blood eosinophil levels (Eos) are associated
with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) treatment response and natural history …

Introduction Sputum eosinophilia occurs in approximately one-third of stable chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients and can predict exacerbation risk and …
